Scot Haney vs. Randy Edsall

As was already reported, the injury bug, new and lingering, is the news maker heading into West Virginia. Beyond that there were only a couple other tidbits out of coach Randy Edsall's Thursday conference call.

Starting defensive end Cody Brown is likely out for the rest of the season with a broken right arm sustained this week in practice. Wide receiver Brandon McLean was also a practice casualty this week, sustaining a broken right ankle. McLean had surgery today. Brown will have surgery Friday.

Some other news out of the conference call:

- - Edsall expects to make a decision on a kicker, between Matt Nuzie and Tony Ciaravino by Thursday night.

- - Edsall isn't sure what to expect from the weather from Friday and he said it's not something he'll worry about.

"You can't control the weather," Edsall said. "You've got to do what you think is right. What the forecast is calling for is we're supposed to get all the rain [before the game] and then wind is supposed to kick up in the evening, from what they're saying. Can we really believe the weathermen?"
